“Out of the Box” Morning Group Tutoring Program For B.C. Online Learners

“Out of the Box” is entering its fifth year, and we are excited to begin planning for the 2026/2027 school year.

The Out of the Box Morning Program is designed for families whose children are enrolled in a British Columbia online learning or homeschooling program and would benefit from additional academic support, structure, and encouragement. Students attend the morning program to complete coursework assigned by their online school while receiving guidance from tutors in a quiet, sensory-sensitive environment.

Rather than working independently at home, students have access to a supportive team that helps them stay organized, manage their workload, develop effective study habits, and work through challenging concepts. Our small-group format and high tutor-to-student ratio allow students to receive individualized attention while also benefiting from peer interaction and a sense of community.

Tutors provide assistance with assignments, time management, goal setting, and problem-solving, while encouraging students to develop greater independence and confidence as learners. The curriculum, assessments, and reporting remain the responsibility of the student’s online learning or homeschooling program.

This program is intended for students in Grades 4–12 who are ready to work alongside peers in a small-group environment and who would benefit from additional academic support and accountability during their school day.

To ensure a positive experience for all participants, students should be able to participate safely and respectfully in group settings and be prepared for the social interactions that naturally occur in a shared learning environment.
